Still

Heavens cold
Sky aching
Thoughts
Crave

Clouds move
Air breathing
Fingers
Reach

Land holds
Earth hoping
Heart
Still...

I like how you use sky, lands, heaven and earth to prompt you, incorporating personification - "sky aching" and "air breathing" and "Earth hoping", all on the second line of each tercet.
